How Time Flies

When we planned for Phil to spend a month here to train and get ready for our national and team competitions, it seemed like a month would be an eternity. I took Phil to the airport today, a month later, and we were both wondering where the time went. It seems like he just got here last week, and now he's gone again. We certainly made the most of our time together. There were lots of tennis balls hit, good meals eaten, and lots of laughter. Two members of the Margaret Court Cup, Fran Chandler and Mariana Hollman, a member of the Young Cup, Mary Dailey, and former Austria Cup member Armistead Neely came to Hidden Dunes to workout with us for a weekend. What fun we all had! We played and practiced 4 to 6 hours a day during their visit. Plus ate great meals out, watched the Olympics and just enjoyed each others company. The Team USA spirit is running high! Phil has his Grass Court nationals in two weeks in New York. I leave in three weeks for my Hard Courts in Salinas, California.
